Anyone else notice he slipped a limerick in there this week? (For those that missed it, replay and pause at 0:40.) I have to say, that was my favorite part of the entire review, with the "Pillock" joke coming in for a close second. Two thumbs up! :)

DevilCheburek:Well I guess I really dont like games with badass chicks. Its not girls job to carry guns or throw big men around with those matchstick-wide arms. But great review anyways.

Sexist much?

From the demo, I fell in love with the style of the game. I have a weakness for ridiculous 70's grindhouse excess, which is why I dug House of the Dead: Overkill, despite it being a very simple game (Not like HotD was ever particularly complicated). I left the demo worried about the controls and the level design, though, and it looks like those worries were well founded.

I dunno, I may still rent it.

Critiquing Rubi for being too unlikeable seems kind of like critiquing water for being too wet. I mean, she's a Grindhouse heroine. That's just who she is. Although it is definitely a fair critique to say she's too one-dimensional.

I was excited for wet when i first saw it, but then i heard nothing but negative things about it. I'm glad I didn't buy it, I'll get it when the price drops.Regardless, good review. I've always had a problem of games wanting you to go into slowmo when you shoot.

"Wet Box" just seems to reveal that there is a porn company by that name. You can also get a response from "Wet Box Prototype". :P

That said I didn't have much interest in this game, and it doesn't surprise me that it got reamed. I didn't see much about it that seemed impressive at all, even when it was being hyped early on.

Also for the record, the thing with "Grindhouse" Heroines is that you have to make them tough but also likable. If they failed in that case with Rubi, then it's a spectacular failure. What made "Kill Bill" for example was that for everything going on you generally wound up liking "The Bride" thinking she was cool, and empathizing with her and the way she did business.

It's also notable that part of what made Kill Bill was that it also seemed to be a homage to the B-grade Samurai cinema. See, part of the whole schtick was that the heroine didn't act like a totally mercenary assasin. She quite clearly approached the people she had an issue with, on THEIR turf and called them out. There was definatly an honor thing involved, and I think part of the entire point (and even the title of the theme music, especially in the first movie) was that her enemies lacked Honor but she did not. O-Ren sending her minions and such and refusing to face her, the sneak attack by Vivica Fox's character at the beginning, the trap Bill's brother inflicted. The only character that had honor was "California Mountain Snake" (Daryl Hannah if I recall) and you'll also notice she is the only character who is not 100% confirmed dead despite being a complete B@tch. I think there is a message there.

I am guessing "Wet" lacked most of the things that made the work that seemingly inspired it great. Even in like "Planet Terror" you could empathize with a lot of the protaganists at least enough to find them amusing. :)

I notice you don't mention that this is steaming pile of drek is a Bethesday Softworks product. I was honestly surprised to learn this. The Elder Scrolls games, while boring and pretentious, at least tried new things and seemed to be leading up to the at least interesting Fallout 3. What is this? Are they planning to merge vast, samey, and boring with trite, samey, and irritating? (Maybe the conversation pie in Oblivion is the first warning sign).

Yes! YES! FUCK, YES!You nailed it! EVERY GODDAMN SHITTY THING that had me reciting mantras of mental strength in order to force myself through to the end of the game! Unlikable protagonist, stupid shooting controls, the annoying artsy-looking rage mode, the mandatory arena fights, confusing level design, stupid commercial panels, epic loading times AND the game freezing during a loading screen! It's all here!This was a well-deserved maiming, and I was laughing through all of it! Thank you, Yahtzee!!!

Theres a void here just before creed and modern warfare two,... I guess just because the companies want to release closer to christmas?more awesome stuff here yahtz

[FROM THE SCRIBBLENAUTS ZERO PUNCTUATION THREAD]

What is it with you people? I've been here for almost a year now, and every single time Yahtzee Croshaw makes a thread, people like you just HAVE to be first in line to post. You cannot possibly have watched the video that fast! It's impossible! You posted 60 seconds after he did, so how the hell can you say, 'awesome stuff as usual'? You didn't watch it!

I mean no disrespect, but honestly, just what do you get out of it? Do you have an orgasm every time you're the first to post in a thread? Do you realize that even if you did, and that's a big IF, you'll still be suspended or probated?

I just don't understand why.

W. T. F.

What the hell, people? Why did this have to happen again? Now, I'm not blaming all of you, but SEVEN people on THE FIRST PAGE alone were probated or suspended!

Why does this have to keep happening? Don't you understand the mods don't like 'First!'-esque posts? Nobody cares if you post first in a thread, even a Zero Punctuation thread! Nobody! And even if we did, you WILL get suspended or probated for pulling a stunt like that!

So let's end the cycle.

Post when you see a thread pop up when browsing the forums normally, don't wait until MIDNIGHT just so you can post 'FIRST!11ONEONESIX' and get suspended.

I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say, BRING BACK PROPER BOSS FIGHTS!!!QTE's are fine if used responsibly, using them to replace boss fights is not using them responsibly. Anyway, good review. Funny as always.
